Rnd 22 Bays v WWT Preview at the Bay Sun 30/8

[mighty_tiger_79]

looks like salopek, logan & douglas are all in the bay line up, so there will be 3 players playing at 11.15am on sunday that don't deserve it but them the breaks

well salopek, logan and douglas wouldnt be playing at 11-15am if they didnt get dropped.

you call it dropped, but i call it a promotion

promoted/dropped, im sure those 3 lads will enjoy setting the alarm clock!!!!

Im pretty sure I read somewhere that Salopek is having a shoulder reconstruction, so I doubt he will play.

I would assume now but could be wrong.

and its great to see, premiership teams have hard luck stories....would love to have some more hard luck stories in a months time

I keep saying it but in last years GF we promoted C Kane who made his league debut in the GF, wont happen this year which is great

[am Bays]

His debut was actually Rd 2 v the Eags last year but the GF was his 2nd. However your point is 100% spot on. If we do happen to make the GF we're unlikely to be calling up an inexperienced player but someone who has played the majority of the season in the 1s

As printed in The Advertiser

FF:- Poole, Loecher, Sutcliffe
HF:- Growden, von Bertouch, Appleton
C:- Brusnahan, Graham, Hooper
HB:- Osborn, Summerton, Ellis-Yolmen
FB:- D. Polec, Turner, Holland
1stR:- Killian, Cully, Lowery
Int from:- Goss, Daly, Wilson, Joyce, Galimi, Smith and Sinor

Play on Saturday at Fortress Woodville from 11.15 am.
Need to win this game and hope that Central lose at least 1 or both games for the Eagles u18s to make the finals.

[ferret]

Agree with the selectors on the demotion of Westbrook and Cheep, they just don't give enough. Westbrook looks absolutely lost, maybe its time to try him in the back lines. Cheep just doesn't get enough touches. Would try and get rid of him at the end of the season. He is on big money and not earning it. Brodie Smith seems to be having a charmed run. He might be a good player in the future, but right now we should be settling an experienced side for the finals.

Fingers crossed, that it happens.

Im just glad my little cousin is getting a chance, now since the under 16's have finished

"and its great to see, premiership teams have hard luck stories....would love to have some more hard luck stories in a months time"........I'LL SECOND THAT - IT'S BEEN YEARS FOR THE BAYS!!

[holden78]

Fairclough in ? Fullers last hurrah for his love child , what else

[centrecirclelegend]

ah yes...... fairclough the 2006 premiership player with the premiership medal........

where is yours Holden78.....play in any finals yourself?

if Fairclough made a similar statement about you at least it would come from someone who has one and people would tend take more notice of........

white ant.......go barrack for south.....you'd be a good fit down there!

[dedja]

Is this the right time to play R.E.M.'s Shiny Happy People?

[Jackal]

Ferrett, agree 100% with your comments. Westbrook looks to have lost his touch since he had a few injuries and Cheep is a major disappointment and deserves to lose his spot. Brodie Smith did show a bit last week but he is not ready and could get shown up against the top 3 teams. Tend to think we need another tall player (weather permitting) against Glenelg.

I agree with Ferret and Jackal re Westbrook should have been in the two's a while ago.
Cheep is being played in the wrong spot .Ron put him on the wing and he was BOG!! Since then he hasn't played on the wing another of rons dummy spits I suppose he is about as flexible(ron that is) as a stobie pole.

I wont get into an argument over Fairclough.But he has improved in the seconds .
Plus people the writing was on the wall about the inclusions this week or should I say in the Coaches Comments Email all inclusions were highlighted by ron for their performances in the seconds.
Wasn't it nice for Mark Jeffries to say thank you to those of us at the oval for the 8.30 am start
